Hello and welcome!

I've had a couple sessions with Janelle and have really enjoyed my time so far! I came in with a situation that I thought was so complex that no one would understand. Janelle has done an excellent job with helping to unpack my feelings and give me actionable items to get me back to a place where I feel better. She's a great listener and cares about her clients.

Great at listening, explaining, and giving time to process. Never feels rushed, always feels genuine.

Janelle has been great, not pushy or anything and always respectful of what amount I was to talk or what I do or do not want to talk about. She is too notch and I couldn’t be happier for my first time doing therapy
